5.0 out of 5 stars MOST USEFUL BOOK I'VE EVER READ!, February 7, 2001

This is the "best of" book you would compile for yourself after reading every book out there on the subject. I felt like I had personal assistance in learning "art of getting it done" and was able to plan long-term as well as implement useful ideas right away. The reader-friendly format is perfect for digesting small bites at a time (which is usually the increments I have available time in). It changed some of my thinking immediately, my measurable productivity within days, and has transformed offices into more productive, happy places!

3.0 out of 5 stars Filled with fluff, but some useful information, April 25, 2002

A co-worker lent me this book, and I can safely say that I'm glad I didn't pay for it. It's full of overgeneralizations and silly rules of thumb. For example, the author loved the 80/20 rule - 80% of productivity comes from 20% of tasks, 80% of problems are caused by 20% of people, and so on. While this might seem like a comfortable, easy-to-remember ratio, it's not really based on any set of numbers. Overused, it becomes worthless.

However, there are some good points about getting organized, setting priorities, and making sure that the important things get done. If you can make it through the fluff, the cliches and the multiple self-assessment quizzes put in to take up space, this book is not so bad. However, there's probably a better book at a lower price out there.

I first saw this book at a friends who had gone to a seminar and purchased it. He had paid thirty five dollards just for the book. I was pleasantly surprized to get the book used in very good cond. I couldn't tell it had been used. I would highly reccommned this company for used books.
